Week of 9/25

Mrs. deGennaro came in to read to us this week!

Dear Parents,

We made it through another week! The kids have been doing great. It is nice to see them working together and taking pride in their work. Thanks for reinforcing all we learn in school at home :).

Here are your reminders for the week:

- Test folders will be sent home on Tuesday. Please sign and return on Wednesday.

- Please consider helping out with The Giving Tree Project to help with our adopted school from Houston.

- Directions for the Religion homework will be sent home today. Please read them and help your child complete it neatly on the paper provided. Please have your child put their first and last name and the date (9/29/17) on the first line of the theme paper. Thanks for you help!

- We will have our first Religion test on Wednesday. Please use the review sheet to study.

- Our field trip is on Thursday! Please send in permission form and payment ($27 cash or check) by tomorrow. Kids should wear their gym uniform (please check the weather and make sure your child wears appropriate clothing). They also need to pack a "brown bag" lunch. Please do not send any glass bottles for drinks.

Some boys practicing "tree pose" during our daily Mindfulness break!
